Once you realise that the universe doesn’t care if you exist or not, you can really start to live your life!
Voelde me de hele tijd een beetje betrapt dat ik dacht met mooie timemanagement trucs alles onder controle te kunnen hebben. Leuke andere kijk op tijd!
Thought provoking perspective of time management, with a few nuggets of wisdom, surrounded by waffle. Pretty much the opposite of "get more done" and more about accepting you won't get to do everything. We all know 4000 weeks isn't long and time passes faster the older we get, so make your choices and embrace living in the moment.
In this sometimes distant sometimes personal account, Burkeman brings up compelling points about the nature of our relationship to time. Maybe the most poignant time to me was his delineation of "the 'joy of missing out:' the recognition that the renunciation of alternatives is what makes their choice a meaningful one in the first place...When you can no longer turn back, anxiety falls away, because now there's only one direction to travel: forward into the consequences of your choice" (page 88). I was also struck by this observation: "the more you focus on using time well, the more each day begins to feel like something you have to get through...to focus exclusively on where you're headed, at the expense of focusing on where you are - with the result that you find yourself living mentally in the future, locating the 'real' value of your life at some time that you haven't yet reached, and never will" (page 125-126). I would've liked more practicality in this book and less vacillation between religious and political favoritism, but it was a very interesting read.
